**VESPA (Virtual European Solar and Planetary Access) is a web-based data search interface for Planetary Science and Heliophysics data. VESPA is a project of the Europlanet-2024 programme funded by European Community.** The VESPA portal provides access to data content provided by the science community, which is freely available to researchers and the general public. It is hosted and maintained by the Observatory of Paris, France. The VESPA portal is a search interface mainly connecting data services responsive to the EPN-TAP protocol in several science fields. It supports user-friendly searching on metadata associated with generic observation conditions (such as target, instrument, time/space/spectral coverages, illumination conditions, etc) and metadata specific to each dataset (such as instrumental parameters). Other protocols such as PDAP and NASA PDS keyword search are also supported.
